Balance problems can have many contributors. Symptoms may be acute or chronic and, in some cases, can indicate serious health concerns.
Factors associated with balance problems include:
The vestibular system, also known as the inner ear, affects balance in a variety of ways. When this system is not functioning well, dizziness, visual problems, unsteadiness, and fear of falling can interfere with everyday life.
A thorough physical therapy evaluation helps identify movement and balance challenges so your care can be tailored to you.
Vestibular therapy consists of exercises designed to improve balance, dizziness, visual problems, imbalance, and fall prevention. Manual head maneuvers, along with specific movements, may be used to reduce vertigo.
Our goal is to help relieve dizziness and vertigo, support a safer return to the activities you enjoy, and lower your risk of falling.
Specific movements and manual head maneuvers may be used to address benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and reduce spinning sensations.
Vestibular therapy can be part of care for vestibular neuritis and Meniere's disease, with exercises focused on balance and function.
Care may help people experiencing balance concerns related to stroke or migraines improve stability and move with more confidence.
